I apologize for delayed progression. : ) Angus is getting stronger. He's mostly working toward strength, therapy, healing, and waiting for the right donor. It is in God's hands. He knows when the best time for transplantation is, but Angus is ready. He no longer has a fever, his lungs are getting stronger and he is eating. Protein means healing! Continue to pray and thank you for all of your support.
If any of you want to donate live stock, there is a Livestock Fundraiser for Angus that's been posted on Facebook. Thank you Mike Joyner for jumping in. You are amazing. - Jen
Update from CW:
Just adding info to what Jen said about the Cattle Fundraiser. They have established two drop off stations. Cattle will be accepted on Sunday, April 14, 2013 at Thomas Cattle Company in Williston and there will be a designated pen at Ocala Livestock Market. The cattle at Thomas Cattle will be gathered and hauled to the market on Monday, April 15. The cattle will be the first cattle to sell in April 15th sale. The check will be made payable to Craig Standridge – 100% of these monies will benefit the family. Feel free to call Mike Joyner 352-572-4098 with any questions you have regarding this fund-raiser. Thanks in advance for your help!
Angus, I read about your story today in the Gainesville Sun. I had a heart transplant at Shands a year and a half ago. You are in very good hands. My doctors and nurses were amazing and I am confident that yours are, as well.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am quite a bit older than you, my illness was completely unexpected and out of the blue, as well. So, I think I have an idea of what you are going through. It sounds like you have a lot of support from friends and family, which makes all of the difference in the world. Try to stay positive. A good attitude will help you in your recovery. Listen to your doctors and nurses, they are only there to help.
If you have any questions or need to talk, you can contact me at chadogd@gmail.com. Hang in there, buddy. My family and I will keep you in our thoughts.
